Nutrition Analysis
“Stir fry shreds” is made with shreds of chicken thigh meat, ham, carrots, celery, green onions and Korean vermicelli. This dish is nutritious, while providing satiety, thus minimizes the problem of over-eat in children. Carrot, celery and green onion are all rich in dietary fibre, providing the dish with the sense of “crunchiness”. Children who usually dislike veggies can intake a bit more fibre through this dish. On the other hand, there is a theory in the study of nutrition, stating that if foods are cut into slices or shreds or other smaller shapes, increasing the quantity while making foods more digestible, then this dish can promote satiety. When satiety is stimulated, people will not consume excess calories in such a meal, thus lowering the risk of obesity. This theory is often used during weight management programs. Furthermore, cutting foods into shreds can help slower the speed in which children consume their meal, and thus help maintain healthy weight and reliefs the stress on the digestive system.
